Designing lightweight EV seat architecture is enormous challenge right now as the industry pushes to electrify vehicles that have bigger, heavier batteries, and there are increased electric draws from the seats. With an average seat in a vehicle weighing around 55-60kg, battery contributing significantly to the vehicle’s weight, designing a seat architecture where weight is kept low while safeguarding comfort and safety is a key priority.

The industry are focusing on modularity as a solution for reducing seat weight, with new seating concepts for electric vehicles that reduce seat weight without lowering value.
